Shadow Trader

BUY LOW. SELL HIGH. DON'T GET SCANNED.

You're a small-time trader trying to make it big in a dangerous galaxy. Buy rare goods where they're cheap, travel between planets, sell for profit, and upgrade your ship.

But there's a catch.

The police are watching. Pirates are waiting. And your debts won't disappear.

Every trip is a gamble. Take the safe route and make less money, or risk everything for a massive profit.

How rich can you get before the galaxy catches up with you?

You're a broke spacer with a beat-up ship, a mountain of debt, and one shot at climbing out of the gutter. Buy goods at 8 unique planets, each with their own economy, warp to the next system, and sell at markup.

Simple, right?

Not when the Space Authority is scanning your cargo. Not when pirates are ambushing your warp corridor. Not when the economy crashes overnight and your entire inventory becomes worthless.

##How It Works

Each run is a session. You wake up at a planet, check the market, check the news ticker for rumors, load up your cargo, and pick a destination. Warp through dangerous space. Pray you make it. Sell high. Buy low. Stay under the radar. Or go all in and pray the Space Authority doesn't pull you over.

**30 seconds to learn. One more run to chase.**
